Abstract | This paper contrasts two traditions, one originally seeking applications for theory, the other looking for solutions to problems in foreign language teaching, and finds both valuable. Five applied linguistics topics--curriculum, discourse analysis, systemic linguistics, testing, and second language acquisition--are briefly discussed within this framework. It is concluded that the value of empirical research depends on the quality of conceptual analysis. Contains 13 references. (JL) |
